underwater world

Beneath the surface

An underwater world is the environment beneath a body of water, especially oceans, viewed as a distinct realm with its own ecosystems and creatures.

The phrase often carries wonder or mystery: The documentary revealed an underwater world teeming with life.

Aquariums and marine parks sometimes use the term as a proper name.
